Just using the raw numbers, female directors with 3 or more ranked film were used and those numbers averaged together for the director rank overall. But this is not a very complete list: Metacritic only tabulated dramatic films after 1980, eliminating documentaries, comedies, and the films of Lina Wertmuller, first woman nominated for a best directing academy award, and Leni Reifenstahl, arguably the most influential female director of all time.
At any rate, here is their article with the tabulated results, my fave on the list is #6 Susanne Bier, from Denmark, #1 is another Danish director..
